That sounds plausible, I didnt find any reminents of the guides in the ports, maybe it ground into a fine powder like state and entered the cylinders and was expelled?
all 8 cyl's have perfect angular honing marks on the cyl walls, it was really encouraging to see this as now I know I dont have any abnormal wear on the bottom end. That rules out pieces of brass scoring the cyl walls.
